Error when loading cookies into a Python request session

Question

I am trying to load cookies into my request session in Python from selenium exported cookies, however when I do it returns the following error: \"\'list\' object has no attr

Answer 1

You can get cookies and use only name/value. You'll need headers also. You can get them from dev tools or by using proxy.

Basic example:

driver.get('https://website.com/')

# ... login or do anything

cookies = {}
for cookie in driver.get_cookies():
    cookies[cookie['name']] = cookie['value']
# Write to a file if need or do something
# import json
# with open("cookies.txt", 'w') as f:
#    f.write(json.dumps(cookies))

And usage:

# Read cookies from file as Dict
# with open('cookies.txt') as reader:
#     cookies = json.loads(reader.read())

# use cookies
response = requests.get('https://website.com/', headers=headers, cookies=cookies)

Stackoverflow headers example, some headers can be required some not. You can find information here and here. You can get request headers using dev tools Network tab:

headers = {
    'authority': 'stackoverflow.com',
    'pragma': 'no-cache',
    'cache-control': 'no-cache',
    'dnt': '1',
